LoRa delivers some extremely attractive functionalities, especially for a specialized set of applications that are currently experiencing an explosion in growth. LoRa, which is short for “long-range,” is a low-power wide-area network modulation technique. In simpler terms, it is a method of transmitting data using wireless signals over long distances while consuming very low power.
In this article, we look at LoRa as a technology and examine how it is becoming an important enabler for some of the most innovative applications of today and tomorrow.

All cutting edge technologies have a specific lifecycle that includes their inception, general adoption, and gradual decline. This is a process that inevitably ends with a retirement of the technology with an end-of-life or end-of-service announcement from service providers. Cellular networks are no exception, and 2G and 3G retirement dates have already been set by most U.S. mobile service providers.
